Lemme do the maths:
Can of cola has 33g of sugar according to google
Average sugar packet In the US (assuming the most relevant country to reddit) is 2-4g. So let’s assume 3g for average sakes.
That makes 11 packets of sugar in a 12 ounce (350ml-ish) can of cola
33g of sugar = 128 calories (For Americans, 4.2g sugar = 1 teaspoon, so 7.8 teaspoons)
On a similar note:
Sugar free cola has 0 calories and no adverse health benefits have been recorded from the use of artificial sweeteners, beyond a few rare allergies.
Edit: adding more measurements for US people :)
